Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

Hello!
Hope you've all had a great week!

For the last two weeks straight after the market we've gone straight to The Rusty Zip
my favourite vintage shop in Belfast. The first week I bought a fab maxi
dress £18 purely for the fabric, the dress was too big for me and the
puffy sleeves were just too big! But I could see the potential for a
very cute dress. I forgot to take a pic of the dress in it's original
state....I chopped of the bottom and then headed round to sister Christine
with my old dress for a lesson in dress making. I borrowed her machine,
learned some handy tips, she showed me how to sew on bias binding and
how to pin correctly. I skipped home with my new dress and after a
freshen up in the machine, it's as good as new! And there is enough
fabric left to make two cushions and lots of scraps for birdies.
